Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from A. M. Appraisals.

Working with an agent to sell your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where A. M. Appraisals comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

A. M. Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we can also:

• Help provide advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
• Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to blow away potential buyers
• Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
• Decrease the chances of unknown difficulties that cause negotiations to flop
• Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from A. M.
